    They don’t pull up under a normal range of motion. If I put my hands straight up over my head though they would pull a little bit. If I had a better sense for how the measurement compared (eg, the rounded sleeve head adds an inch?) I could make a better judgment call about whether it would fit...

    None, I’ve been able to specify the sleeve length so they’re perfect. If the G Inglese sleeves really are more than an inch and a half past that they’ll be halfway down my hands.

    I did, and the sleeves are too long. However, NMWA indicates that the sleeve measurements on a G Inglese are not comparable to other shirts, which is what I'm asking about.

    Wanted to see if I could get some advice on G Inglese dress shirt sizing. I'm usually a Proper Cloth guy but for the next cycle I'd like to upgrade to nicer construction. My neck size puts me somewhere between a 38 and 39 (collar measurements indicated are 15.4 and 15.9, and my usual size is...

    Yeah, I’m pretty obsessive about using trees. They aren’t in the pic because I wanted to demonstrate the crease. Haven’t looked at using a bone to get the crease out. Might be worth considering, but at the same time I might just replace them - they need a minimum of $250 worth of work to...

    Think so? I sent pics of it to Bedo a while back and the response was basically “that’s gonna cost like $350 and it’s only gonna be a temporary fix, maybe buy new ones” (paraphrasing)

    Sure, here’s a pic of the vamp. This pair got a really weird flat crease early, and as time went on it started developing a small tear in that area. Now that the soles and heels are worn out, I don’t think it’s worth resoling, because the vamp won’t get better and is likely to get worse.

    I know they’re hard, but I know they exist! So, it can’t be impossible. Hopefully someone can offer advice as to how it can happen! If it takes being on a waiting list for 2 years that’s fine, I’m not in a hurry. I just don’t know if anybody keeps a list.

    I have finally worn my Alden LHS in #8 out (the vamp is starting to split, so I think this is a replacement situation), and so I’m getting ready to buy a replacement pair of the #8 plus a pair in black cordovan. I’d also really like pairs in Whiskey and #4, though. How tough is it to get the...

    Guess I'll give it a shot. My worry with that strategy is that it's a pretty short vamp, so pushing it further out over my foot could be problematic, in addition to moving the back further away from my heel, which I feel like is already a problem. Maybe I'll buy 10C and 9E and return one (or both).

    I'm interested in picking up some full strap loafers on the Aberdeen last, but I've had trouble in the past with sizing. I have a pair of suede tassel loafers in 9.5D on Aberdeen, but the heel is really loose (slippage, even after lots of break in period) and the toes, starting right along the...
